Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
Instructions
- Slice the butter into cubes and place it in a small skillet set over medium-high heat.
- Allow the butter to cook until it has fully melted, about 2 minutes.
- Whisk the butter constantly for another 2-3 minutes until it begins to smell nutty and turn golden brown. The butter will foam on top, but you’ll be able to see the color underneath as you whisk.
- As soon as the butter turns golden brown, remove it from the pan so it doesn’t burn.
Notes
- Storage: Store brown butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Browned butter is delicious in pasta sauces, cookies, baking, or potatoes!
- Slice the butter into cubes to start with, so that everything melts and browns evenly.
- Whisk/stir regularly and keep an eye on it to avoid burning.
- It's done when the butter turns a golden brown. It will create a nutty aroma.
- Keep a bowl/container next to the stove so you can pour the butter into it as soon it browns (otherwise it will keep cooking and burn).
- You can use brown butter as a substitute for regular butter in lots of baked goods. Just add it into a recipe in the same form it calls for (chilled, softened, room temperature, etc.).
